Photograph the Depth of Life

Yali H D’Amato

Welcome! I’m so happy to see you here!

“A great photographer always retains baby eyes”. Embracing curiosity and approaching the world with an open mind has consistently inspired my work.

Since high school, I've had a tendency to view things from different angles and unique perspectives. Whether it's a bow on a pair of high heels, water droplets on the tips of grass blades, sunlight filtering through the leaves of a tree, or a shy smile in a crowd, I find myself drawn to the smallest details, feeling deeply connected to the unnoticed yet vibrant and passionate aspects of life. When I began college in 2009, my parents rewarded me with my first camera, and I've never stopped photographing since.

The brand name D’Amato is inspired by my wonderful husband, Joey D’Amado. Joey and I celebrated our own wedding ceremony in 2024. Since we began dating in 2017, he has been my unwavering supporter and biggest believer. Recognizing my dedication to photography and acknowledging my talent, he has always been the first to encourage me to share my passion and love with everyone who enriches our lives.

Life is an abundant journey, brimming with adventures and indelible moments. For me, photography is more than just snapping a picture—it's about capturing life's essence, storytelling, and preserving emotions in a single shot. I aim to convey life's depth through vivid, crisp, and breathtaking photographs. From the depths of my heart, I hope my images bring you joy and warmth, serving as timeless reminders of your brightest moments that endure beyond time's passage.

So, if you are interested in working together and allowing me to capture your stories, I am honored to be there to make your day!
